He gave unto his wife, Honoria, all his real and personal estate to distribute between herself and their two children John and Elizabeth Weire.

George Jones, by intermarriage circa 1672, with Mrs. Honoria Weire, widow and sole Executrix of Major John Weire, dec., became possessed of the property, and at her request was to manage it for the benefit of herself and her two children, John and Elizabeth Weire.

On the 30th December, 1672, George Jones conveyed the property back to his wife to dispose of as she saw fit.

   Note: this Ancestry Member Tree shows that Honoria, wife of George Jones, whom he married in abt. 1672 as the mother of George's two sons John Jones and Nebuchadnezor Jones, but this is highly unlikely, as Honoria did NOT name either of them in her will, which she appears to have listed all of her children. It appears that both sons were more likely products of a prior marriage of George Jones. Additional research is necessary.
